It has long disappointed me that I was unable to try Grill'd's chips, hailed as delicious and amazing, but coated in beef tallow before they were fried (groosssss). So it was with delight that I recently heard the news that all the chips in all of Grill'd's stores are 100% vegan.

So of course I raced out to try them (accompanied by Fi).

They are chunky. And salty - giant globs of salt. And very herby. Not the best chips in old Melbourne Town, but pretty tasty!

This makes me happy! I was really upset when I learned they weren't because I had actually eaten them once or twice before a server actually told me. I was upset that they hadn't told me before! And when she said "they aren't vegan", I said "are they fried in beef tallow?" When she responded yes, I was like, "You do realise that makes them not vegetarian either, right?" I can't understand why that doesn't compute for some people!
